Rio Ferdinand picks Harry Kane to head England’s Euro 2024 front six

As Euro 2024 approaches, Rio Ferdinand has identified his favourite front six for England, according to dailymail.co.  Gareth Southgate will have to make some big decisions for his England team when they go to Germany at the conclusion of the season to win their first trophy since 1966.

Ferdinand, a former England and Man United defender, has named his finest six frontmen.

Ferdinand, a TNT Champions League analyst, was questioned about the best offensive line-up after Phil Foden scored City’s third in stoppage time.   First two options at right wing and up front were basic and expected.

‘[Bukayo] Saka right, [Harry] Kane up front,’ he began – before his selections became trickier, adding. ‘The left is tough man. [Jack] Grealish is injured now. [Marcus] Rashford hasn’t been in form.’

He was pushed for an answer by fellow former Three Lion Joleon Lescott, who asked him to give a verdict if everyone was fit.  Ferdinand replied: ‘If everyone’s fit and flying Rashford plays for me on the left.’

Lescott agreed with his front three selection, adding: ‘Yeah I’d go for that. I don’t think there’s a bad choice.  ‘I think everyone thinks you can get it wrong and say “well if you’re picking him then you don’t rate the other one”. ‘I don’t think that’s the case. I think there’s so much talent.’

Ferdinand was then asked who he would have in the No 10 role should England play a 4-2-3-1 formation. ‘I’d have Foden in there,’ he said – off the back his impressive display for City.

He also concurred with Lescott on a central midfield pairing of Jude Bellingham and Declan Rice behind Foden, with the ex-Everton man saying the trio would ‘figure it out between them’.
